TSP is terrified to announce the Orlando Premiere of "BEETLEJUICE JR JR JR!"

 

It's our show now, kid.

The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice Jr, the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon.

 

Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Luckily for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.

Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!

 

With a creative team consisting of Hillary Brook as director, Monica Quinn as associate director, Chris Payen as choreographer, and Dragomir Page as musical director this promises to be an exciting and enriching theatrical experience.
